Well, if you're at work all day and you're spending time alone on the computer, then you're likely not spending enough time with her to suit her needs.  It's not that you are 'required' as some kind of obligation to spend time with her, but it is an aspect of a functional relationship for a lot of people.  Youshould consider weather or not you are capable of spending time with each other, as she feels would be preferable or if you should reconsider the relationship at all.  Most importantly, it's important to talk, since not only is time together important, a person's own relaxation time is important, particularly when working 12hr days.  I can see how it'd all strain a relationship and talking and finding a workable balance or deciding that continuing the relationship isn't feasible is what you should do.

 

...I apologize in advance for not being part of the crowd who's response can be effectively summed up as "FUCK THAT BITCH".

There's gotta be some amount of time that you spend with her, as in whatever she wants to talk about or do with you, you two can begin without having to ask each other. What you want to do with her as well

There's actually not been very much hate on girls or relationships in this thread if at all, so shame on you for assuming :P

Would you be willing to take on cooking with her?

 

It can become as enjoyable as BF4, or not, but you gotta give it a try

it's on the BBC in the UK but you should be able to torrent it.

Guessing from reading this thread, your GF is mad as hell at you because you don't spend enough time with her, and that's very normal, if she goes to work and comes home any girl will expect some attention from their boyfriend instead of being ignored while the guy plays games or is on socials. A great way is to find something she lives a lot and maybe you could like too and offering to do it with her and slowly make up for ignoring her. 

Another thing is to talk to her about it and promise her that you would not ignore her again, as difficult as that sounds, after it, you will feel much better and so will your relationship. 

If you like gaming that much maybe find a time when she is busy to play it and spend time with her when she is free. 

Hopefully, those options help out.

 

(those are just tips and an assumption of your exact situation and you are the best person to choose what to do, no one else)

Just a random question, but have you tried turning it on and off again? 
Also you could try reloading the OS, not that I know how to access the disk drive or the boot menu.
I am not all too familiar with the hardware configuration that these 'females' use.
And if all else fails try chocolate, lots and lots of chocolate. I believe that helps in worst case scenarios, and good luck

well shes mad because im not spending enough time with her(playing maybe 2hrs battlefield)  but im making dinner and also trying to talk with her. i work 12 hr shifts at work and she works 9 maybe 10 shifts at work and shes crabby because i want some PC time

 


Thats why my girlfriend is a gamer, so we can happily play BF4 together or whatever we want to play

 

Do you have any hobbies in common? because that could be an issue, if when you come home, you want to do your own thing and spend no time with her etc

Sounds like me she is walking around with a problem or something, give her some time and attention, talk/ask about it, that's my advice.

Sometimes you gotta spend time doing stuff she likes, even if you don't, like watching her shows.

 

On the flipside you also have to set reasonable expectations with her about sometimes you want to play games and she needs to respect that, just like you have to respect her interests.
